The French Pastry School Hurricane Relief Project
When times are tough, we know a bit of kindness and a touch of sweetness can go a long way to lift spirits. Baking 60,000 cookies to deliver to those affected by the hurricanes in Texas and Florida was the French Pastry School's small way of helping.
If you'd like to help the victims still recovering in TX, FL, & Puerto Rico, please donate to
